Winner correction

this weeks selection with

• Metric in beg Lead and beg Bass, sadly the only beginner song in the SSL, so a very good chance to get selected ,and guess what RNG have chosen  :lol:  The charts are a bit wrong at some spots, but we had no choice.... beginner songs are very needed
• Ghost is a very fun Intermediate song in all paths, and the cdlc is well made. Thanks @@papillon for that great choice
• NoMeansNo - thanks to RNG for choosing that, most fun part is the picked bass.... and let's get started.....now
• Machine Head - Harder than necessary because that slow scroll speed, hard to read without getting headache, but charting is ok, both guitars are a bit overloaded in my opinion, MC for all paths

and scores from testing

and then I had to stop, couldn't play those "old" guitars at that scroll speed

 

oo nice, some Ghost! im not familiar with Machinehead, gonna be interesting I bet 

Metric's always good for a hundred! :D

I always love playing Ghost when they come up in the championship yet for some reason I never play them any other time.

I feel like I might have got lucky through some sections :lol:

Yeah, this one kicked my arse.  :D

I hope to have more time this week.

 

Here's my start

 

Metric on bass = 99.7%

 

NoMeansNo on bass = 98.8%

Advanced song is too hard for me, so I did this one instead. Could have gotten 99% if the 1-4 pattern would register properly for me.http://image.prntscr.com/image/ad4ec49b0b094164aa3414a25dfb8968.png

And since I'm probably in intermediate class, I have to submit a score for Ghost:

Shoutout to Telboy for that cheeky kashmir entry last competition

Surprisingly respectable start!

Man, i feel like Machine Head is soo tough  :( I'm really not good at those fast chord changes... Half way through the song my left hands cramps  :wacko:  None the less some scores, so i've got something in...

I'll do the rythm part when my left hand is back to state where i can even hold my guitar  :rolleyes: But, i won't be bracking records on this song  :lol:

Since we're having a long weekend in Germany, i'm trying to be a bit productive  :D  Not really Championship related, but i thought you might appreciate some insight  ^_^  Nothing major or well produced, but that's what i'm up to atm:

Let's put that subwoofer to work.

So this is has been my favourite Ghost song since forever. I've even recorded a video already! Kind of want to rerecord with my new soloing abilities, but this isn't too shabby for year-ago Gamut.

And Machine Head that I've never heard before! LOVE this song.   ><  Gonna feel good to put a lot of effort into it. This is my kind of playstyle, too - gonna try for high 90s.

Solid stuff man. Really enjoy Dawn. Keep it coming!  

here is my first scores of the week, 

 

 

not sure if i'll get the 100% on this but I will be trying.......@   :P

 

 

this was a struggle, first finish without the RED XXX

 

 

also a struggle....played this more than twice as well....

 

 

as the bass was all warmed up I had a little go at this 

 

 

cheers

@@Telboy, I bet you can get 100%! And you can totally kick my butt at the advanced song.

let's play some Blues  :D

Lead is easier and rhythm harder than expectet, but great fun, groovy

unfortunately my main user profile is gone, and I'm sure I didn't delete it by myself :angry: .... last action in RS was testing the customs for this week and everything was all right. I hope it's not caused by one of them, let's see

(I testet Metric, Ghost and Machinehead only)

Not getting nearly enough time to play my bass so these are my firsts and possibly lasts for the week, but we'll see... I'm currently working 3 jobs since my partners contract ended with Sony, he's applying for everything but no luck yet... so stuff is a bit shit atm, I'm tired, moody, not well and waiting for physio and an op' but everything keeps getting cancelled, put back and it's all massively stressful (I'm not dying or anything, just have a rather inconvenient health issue that basically ruins anything physical I want/need to do.) I'm also losing faith in my playing, I seem to have forgotten how to play. meh  :mellow:

Awww Noony!! :( All that first stuff can totally lead to the last thing. I find to really play my best, I have to be in a good state of mind with no distractions, otherwise my brain will just meander off mid song. My problems absolutely distract me and make me play worse. And likewise, it's only when things are going REALLY good, when I am loving life, that I can perform my best.

 

Chin up, eh? We'll make it! <3

aye @@Gamut , I don't mean to be a downer, generally have a very sunny disposition on everything. I'm enjoying work at least (especially one of my jobs that is creative and fun and in no way boring.) It's just a bit sad here. I'm having some time gaming atm with my Squig herder and poking dwarves in the eye and practicing Ghost riffs between kills so there's a little fun happening :) and having some relative success with a widdley bit in square hammer that I'm trying to improve my efficiency and accuracy fingering. But fanks for the comforting advice and support, it's appreciated greatly :) x

It's a Ghost week!

 

Early results (won't get much better probably):

Since it's my 3rd anniverssary of being part of Championship, we once again celebrate with a Metric tune. It's probably my least favorite from all Metric customs, but, well, it's true.

 

Here goes my score:

Happy 3rd anniversary @@Mortalo... I think nickel is the gift for 3 years... some nickel plated strings perhaps? :)

I am mistaken... it's leather for 3 years :) ...new guitar strap.... gimp mask...? :D

@@fripponomic my profile was corrupted last year (around the same time) - it's annoying to start all from scratch then you play songs you've skipped always again and after a while you don't care about the stats :)

 

The adv is a nice song, excellent custom (good job on it) - and it's challenging. Struggled through score attack and avoided the 2 other strikes with some deep purple bars ;)

 

Awesome Metric score @@Mortalo - I reached only a 96 with much shorter streak

My Ghost score - played it a while ago

http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t384/papillon-pb/championship/championship2014/Bildschirmfoto%202016-08-24%20um%2021.20.30_zpsk4l4hqo7.png

that's right @@papillon, I also don't care about the song stats anymore. Those I've played my name is still in the leaderboards. It happened the 2nd time to me, but the fist time I thought I deleted it accidentally by myself.

Anyway, more scores now for the MC Lead... while testing I got a score in the mid 70s, couldn't read anything at the scroll speed 2.0 and never heard this song before. Now I set the scroll speed for me to 1.4 and it was much better, good enough for a score attack attempt
